Canadian actress Sarah Gadon leads an international cast in Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki’s 17th Century historical drama “The Girl King,” which began production this week in Finland, and we’ve got the first photo of Gadon and Swedish actress Malin Buska in the title role. Additionally, Gadon has joined the cast of 1950s set romantic drama “Brooklyn” starring Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson and Emory Cohen.

“The Girl King” follows Queen Kristina (Buska), who ruled Sweden from
the age of 6 in the 17th Century. The powerful men around her try to
manipulate her, but she refuses to marry and produce an heir for the
throne, instead finding herself drawn into a passionate love affair with
Ebba Sparre (Gadon), her beautiful lady in waiting. The men then turn
their attention to using Sparre to get to Kristina, but “underestimate
Kristina’s brilliant mind and her desire to be free.” The rest of the
cast includes “The Borgias” star Francois Arnaud, “Haven”‘s Lucas Bryant, Swedish “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” star Michael Nyqvist and others.

"Haven" will return for Season 5 in 2014, but star Emily Rose will keep busy until then with a recurring role on USA's "Graceland" Season 2.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Rose will play FBI Agent Jessica Foster. One of Mike's (Aaron Tveit)
superiors at his job in Washington, Jessica is described as someone who
seems like the consummate bureaucrat but who tends to bend the rules
when necessary.

Considering the trouble people get into at Graceland, this is likely to be a very handy skill.

Two other roles -- one recurring and one to guest-star -- have also been cast for Season 2. Brianna Brown ("General Hospital") will recur as Kelly Badillo, the wife of murdered Juan Badillo (Mike's former handler, killed by Briggs in Season 1). Benito Martinez ("The Shield") will also appear in the new season, guest starring as Alfredo Armas, the head of the nefarious Caza Cartel.

"Graceland" will return for Season 2 in Summer 2014. "Haven" will air the first half of its extended Season 5 in Fall 2014.

WWE Hall of Famer Adam "Edge" Copeland was a recent guest on George
Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, a Canadian talk show, talking about his role
on SyFy original series Haven, his career in WWE, retirement and more.
When asked about how it felt retiring, Edge had some advice for people
getting into pro wrestling.

"If they could give a class to people coming into that industry on how
to manage your money, and keep it all in check. I always introduced
myself as Adam from day one. I was never Edge - Edge was a character … I
don't want to be that guy, like Micky Rourke in The Wrestler – that's
not gonna be me. For 20 years I was Edge to people. Not like Johnny Depp
who plays 8 characters a year. But I am Edge to a large majority of the
population, and I always will be. I've come to accept that, but I'm Adam."

Edge also talks about wrestling with Hulk Hogan, when he knew it was
time to retire, Tommy Dreamer having to carry his bags and more. He also
mentioned that six weeks ago he had a baby with former WWE Diva Beth
Phoenix.
